Is it well ? I ask this question of you becase that is a question that the prophet asked
a woman after her son died. She said yes. Did she lie to say it is well? We often say I have this wrong or that wrong - I
know I do. She knew that God would raise up her son and had faith. She had been housing that prophet and he stayed with for
3 years and they lived off of a little oil that should have run out in a famine but it did not. She gave to the man of God
and they survived Too often we wait until we have to give and say well lets see I can afford to give trying
to count our pennies - lets see I have $90 in bills and have $93 well I better hold on to this $3 just in case maybe I
can afford a dollar. I think too often we take the time to focus on our problems for that is true Oh I
did not feel well today and this happened today. This Woman had faith
because she knew that God would raise up her son. The man of God came back and laid on her son and prayed that the spirit
of the boy would come back in him and the boy came back to life. People we are in the last days and I would love
to see lives changed teh sick healed and dead raised. We need to walk by faith and say God you will provide
for you are greater then our problem. The prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray was to provide my needs today and
the Bible says he had no where to lay his head. He must have stayed with friends or slept with people who invited
him. So may the Good Lord provide for your healing from the top of your
head to the soul of your feet, well oops can't say that for He already did! HE paid for it at Calvary. How about provide
for your finances? He did that too! So in Jesus name I speak healing into my ___________ or I Command a creative
miracle or Lord thank you for meeting all my needs in Jesus name Amen

October 18 2009 I constatnly hear news of the terror acts that are going on in Israel and other places
and see that this world is increasingly becoming a place where fear has increased. Ever since 9/11 we in America have
realized that we are not as safe as we once were. We felt that the distance of the Atlantic Ocean made us safe and were arrogant
thinking who would attack the Mighty USA. Now we have been attacked and it was from people who trained in our schools and
we have become vulnerable in our minds and that makes us leery and changed our world perspective. We then went on the
offensive to ease our mind about what is going on but that still does not totally ease our mind for we realize that once
we have been attacked our shell of vulnerability has been cracked so we are not as safe as we once were. We question
about things and since our safety is in question we wonder about so many other things and it even caused us to establish a
new department - the Department of Homeland Security so we can feel safer, yet we don't I want you
to know that God is still God and we are still his and no weapon formed against His saints can prosper no matter what
happens in the world. Satan lost at the cross and we are assured victory for God lives in us and no enemy can cross
that line of blood that was drawn in the sand. Do not be afraid for I am with you says the Lord and I will keep
you and preserve you for the bank account may dwindle and you may have no resources but I will provide for your provision
is based on my blood not on your sweat. I know what it is like to be withou a job yet God provides. I hear from
people in other countries that want money and I say I want it too. Do not be afraid but rejoice. Paul was one who went
through much trouble - was shipwrecked , tortured, beat and yet He wrote do not be afraid so He knows what it is like
to have trouble. Be sure and do not be afraid for God has not abandoned you and God is the God of eternal joy so
rejoice in Him says the Lord

Oct 11, 2009 We are continuing the focus on the Eternalness
of God and that is something that is unique to God. God is the only one who is eternal. God always was and always
will be. We have a spirit and that was spirit is in us but we did not have a body and we all have a start date and many
of us will have a death date, unless Jesus comes back first. We are looking forward to the day that Jesus will come back.
God is for us and God will keep us. The issue for us is do we believe that God will keep us or do we try to keep ourselves.
The first thing we have to do to answer that question is do we trust in God or do we think that that we can take care of ourselves.
We have to first believe that God lives and that he wants to help us. God is for us. God will not let us down. HE is really
there, so many do not think that God is eternal and do not believe in Him so they do not think that God will be
there for them. Then we can trust that we too, can have eternal
life. We cannot believe we have eternal life if we do not believe that there is an eternal God. You cannot
give something that you do not have. You have to possess it. So we must believe that God has eternal life in order for him
to give it. Our view of God determines what we expect from God and what we will receive from God. I encourage you to receive
from God today. All that we have from God is based on the fact that God is eternal; otherwise then Jesus
is would not be the same yesterday today and forever.

Tell me what gives you strength? Is it joy or your family or is it even what you make? There are so many things that give
to people strength but the Bible says that the Joy of the Lord gives you strength. See the issue is what God gives to us and
puts inside of us. We have so many things that come into our life and so many things that we deal with that sometimes we lose
focus. We get focused on bodies, or people, or even on the problems that we have. I know I have many problems and issues in
my life but I try to magnify not the problem and you will not hear me tell people all my problems for I do not want to mangify
the problem I wanted to magnify the Problem solver. Greater is he that is in me then he that is in the world. Who is greater
to you - the God who took your place or the problem and issues that you have daily. We are getting
so close to the end and Jesus is coming soon- we have been hearing that for so long that we get to the point that we no longer
believe it for it seems like we wonder if it will ever happen. I want to encourage you that the Word of God needs to be your
strength and that we should let the Lord be praised no matter what for God loves you and to exalt His name together. He is
worthy! Stop seeing what the problem is and the start seeing the answer. Today we focus on Grace and how God says we are obedient.
So many do not see that - instead they see themselves only as failures and do not see themselves as being right with God.
God loves you and thinks you are worth the blood. God loves you and gave his life for you! You are worth the
blood of His son! Tell me I am worth the blood of your child or your spouse! What will you give to save your enemy? Will you
beat him up or go to save him? God saved you when you were his enemy and loved you so much! Stop seeing your problems and
then you wil see the solution and when you see the solution that is when you will see the answer! The answer comes from a
good conscience- it comes from Seeing God through the blood of Calvary! This is how you are made obedient by Jesus and
His sacrifice and then you can see yourself as worthy of being made free from sickness and disease.Speak to the
problem and not about the problem. HE became your leg, arm, eye, back, cancer, sickness, all that you need HE bore your sickness
and became your sin so that you may be right with God and so that you can live free from the devil's curse now in this life!-
Come and find out how you can be obedient and how God can bless you now in this life! We meet at the Sprigfield YMCA Sundays
11 AM so come and join us this Sunday for our service so you too can be blessed!
